"Learning to love, live and celebrate as we grow in the knowledge and love of Christ"

Character Education

As you will be aware, this year we are beginning to build 'Character Education' into life at St Thomas More. Please see the information below to find out more about our vision and how we plan to implement this alongside our Religious Education curriculum.

What is Character Education?

Character is a set of personal virtues which guide conduct. Character Education is explicit and implicit teaching and learning that helps young people develop moral virtues. (Jubilee Centre)

The core principles of the framework are:

Prepare young people for tests of life, rather than just a life of tests

Must be more than just a subject

Must involve the community – incl. Parents

Has a place in the classroom

Can have a positive impact on attainment, behaviour and employability (Jubilee Centre)
